Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

DraftKings Salary: $11,300

If looking for a pivot off of Harden, it doesn't get much more obvious than Russell Westbrook. Westbrook comes in $100 cheaper and saw Harden double his DraftKings point total on Tuesday, so recency bias may keep his ownership lower than it should be.

While Harden has to contend with one of the league's toughest defenses, Westbrook draws a matchup against a Denver Nuggets squad that has been terrible against point guards for years. That hasn't changed this season, and Westbrook should exploit the individual matchup.

This game has the highest over/under on the slate while the Oklahoma City Thunder are tied for the second-highest implied team total, so it is definitely one of the best places to target for fantasy goodness tonight. Don't let one poor game scare you off -- Westbrook had topped 64 DraftKings points in four of five games prior to that dud. He should bounce back in a great spot and is one of the strongest plays of the day.
